to teaching and learning.

Definition of ICT Policy
The Oxford English Dictionary has defined

“policy” as a course of action, adopted and pursued
by a government, party, ruler, statesman.
Thus, ICT Policies are needed to put a roadmap or course of
actions to be pursued and adopted by various governments,
organizations, intitles involving ICT. These include principles
and guidelines in the use of ICT which cover three main areas:
Telecommunications (telephone), broadcasting (radio and

television) and Internet.
The New ICT Technologies:
1. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
2. TELECOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES
3. NETWORKING TECHNOLOGIES
The DICT Roadmap

In our country, the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT) has
formulated a roadmap to guide all agencies in the utilization regulation and enhancement of ICT.
Each project has corresponding policy statements and guidelines.
 The ICT for Education (ICT4E) is a program under the DICT that supports all the efforts of the
education sector in incorporating the use of ICT as well as in determining and gaining access to the
infrastructure (hardware, software, telecommunications facilities and others) which are necessary to
use and deploy learning technologies at all levels of education. Among the policy recommended
programs that have applications to education teaching-learning are:
• ICT in education Masterplan for all levels,
including a National Roadmap for faculty
Development in ICT in Education. A
National Framework Plan for ICTs in Basic
Education was developed.
• Content and application development through the Open Content in
Education Initiative (OCEI) which converts DepEd materials into
interactive multi-media content, develop applications used in schools,
and conduct students and teachers’ competitions to promote the
development of education-related web content.
• PhedNET is a “walled” garden that hosts educational learning and

teaching materials and applications for use by the Filipino students,
their parents and teachers. All public high schools will be part of this
network with only DepEd-approved multi-media applications, materials
and mirrored internet sites accessible from school’s PCs.
• Established Community eLearning Centers called eskwela
for out-of-school youth (OSY) providing them with ICT-
enhanced alternative education opportunities.
• eQuality Program for Tertiary education through partnerships
with state universities and colleges (SUCs) to improve quality
of IT education and the use of ICT in education in the
country, particularly outside of Metro Manila.
• Digital Media Arts Program which builds digital media
skills for government using Open Source technologies.
Particular beneficiary agencies include the Philippine
Information Agency and the other government media
organizations, the Cultural Center of the Philippines,
National Commission for Culture and Arts and other
government art agencies, State Universities and Colleges
and other local government units.
• ICT skills strategic plan which develops an inter-agency
approach to identifying strategic and policy and program
recommendations to address ICT skills demand-supply type.
Some Issues on ICT and Internet Policy and
Regulations
• Issue No 1: Freedom of Expression and Censorship
• Issue No. 2: Privacy and Security
• Issue No. 3: Surveillance and Data Retention
• Issue No. 4: E-pollutants from E-waste
Implications to Teaching and Learning
• Guide the teachers on what they should teach that relate to ICT, and
how to teach it. Since ICT development comes so rapid and fast,
teachers might be overwhelmed by its rapid speed. Temperance in its
use is a caution that should be looked at.
• Technology should never replace any human teacher. The tools are
support instructional materials for the teachers which are available for
use. The teacher should learn how to appropriately use them. The
human touch of the teacher is still a vital component in teaching.
Teachers should always be reminded that there are always limitations
in the use of the different gadget and tools.
• There are rules and regulations that govern the use of technology.
Caution should be observed to protect individual privacy. As
teachers, you must be aware that the use of technology may
jeopardize your privacy and security.
• All the issues and many more shall be part of the teaching content
as each teacher will be encouraged to use technology in teaching.
For the Learners and Learning
• The learners of the 21st Century are even more advanced than some of the
teachers. However, learners still need guidance on how to use, regulate
technology use. As there are positive and negative effects of technology
use, learners should know the difference. Learners should not only know
the benefits of technology use, but they should also know how they can
be protected from the hazards that technology brings to their lives.
• Learners should take advantage of the potential of learning support they
can derive such as the development of higher order thinking skills, the
development of learning communities through collaboration, the
enhancement of skills to manage the valid resources as 21st century
learners and many more.
• Teachers and learners should be mindful of the e-waste that are being
thrown away to the land and to the atmosphere.
Thank You!
